Meet Jan Happy

I Am

I was born in 1967 and raised in a suburb to Copenhagen, Denmark. My mother came from a academic family and my father from a working family. I believe this was a great combination for them and for me to experience. My parents decided to get divorced when I was 10 years old and I was an only child all my life. I am grateful for this today, but earlier I was very sad when I saw how others had this great relationship with their brothers/sisters.

​

My childhood was great because my father inspired me to play with toys like trains, planes and ships. My mother was opposite and took more care of me and my needs.

Because my father inspired me with the trains, planes and ships, I grew up with a great passion of them. As a little boy I had this big dream of becoming a pilot, but after I finished public/business school I wanted to do something else and I was inspired to work within IT, and this became my main career until 2009. 

​

In 2003 I met my wife and her kid. In 2005 we were married after having my first babyboy. We had another babygirl in 2006 and again we had twins in 2010. I has been amazing journey to have 4 kids when you are an only child.

​

Not everything went well and in 2009 I had a big breakdown with stress, but this got me to think of changing my life completely. I decided to make a big turnaround. I started to go for my biggest dream.

​

In 2011 I was inspired and motivated online by watching videos by an Motivational Coach and in 2013 I met him at an event in my home city. I loved his authenticity and energy in his Public Speaking, so from this event I decided to go even deeper and focus all my energy on becoming a Public Speaker and a Motivational Coach. I really wanted to inspire and motivate others to be more happy and to live a happy life.

2014 was the year I created the Happy Universe Presentation (see below). I was traveling with a ferry from my hometown to visit my mom and I always carry my computer with me if I dont know what to do, so while sailing I just made some tests presentations, but in a split second, something within me said, call it Happy Universe, so one step to the next and it was made with great rainbow colors. The main purpose of this presentation is to give people an overview of how we can change the world one person at a time. ​​

March 23rd, 2026 my mom died 87 years old. I was prepared to say goodbye. No fear and no sadness. Just an odd feeling of ending my old life with her and ready to start a new life without her. My dad died in 1994 and my stepdad in 2016. I was the only Kid. My mom spend 10 years of her life in a nursing home and I was there almost half of the time. We had many happy moments and many happy trips. My wonderful kids visited her as well many times earlier. My moms death process made me very strong mentally and I am now on my own without any attachments. My kids will follow me later.
